Thank you guys. I think I figured it out a bit. Creating a sequence of faces seems to do the work. It's time consuming, but it the end it should be nice animation :)
if you have existing shapes and want to morph from one to the
other, the crucial question is in what format you created your
shapes.
If they area shape layer or mask keyframes, AE will morph between
them automatically during the transition from one keyframe to the
next. If they are just images, there is no easy way for automatic
morphs and you can either go abruptly from one shape to the next
or do some frame blending.
I am wondering if you know any technique for
animating mouth and the whole face using after
effects. I mean creating some kind of face rig,
using poses designed earlier. There is no
problem in ordering faces one after another
according to text speech, but what with morphing
standard face into different poses? Anyone know?
